by the same name Of course l here ia but one point upon which all these men agree and that is a truly t vigorous prosecution of th war But that is not abitiotts Emancipation i as a means of war may bo justirJ bvl all ofihetn but that is not abolitionism The word Ab litiotiist designates a par ty in the country whose posiiou and m fitiince have never been correctlyestimated I ecause its members have

why disunionists have not been questions thougnt to 06 worm the asking especially by the politicians who now call their late companionsAbolitionists because they imtiur upon the Union at every cost and who think aiid call the open bloody disunioitist of the South errina brethren But the history ol these timos will have to deal differently with the facts the iiifluoicsaiid the characters which we summarily classed as Abolitionism For nierelv to call tbetiien known as Abilitionisisa handful ol fat aticsincendiaries aud agitators explains them and ttr njiico no much AS Sitliev Smiths sneeiing ac counts of Mehodism and Methodists or Humes description ot Cromwell and the Independents but no more It is certainly not verycmiplimentarv to the American people to sry that a few bitter fanatics at the North called Abolitionists and a few otherfanatics at the South called Secessionists pluot ed thirtv millions of us in to this tremendous civil war If theindividual James Osis had held his tongue would there have been no revolution If John Hampden had paid the ship monev would the Si nurts today be Kings of England James Ons and John Hampden were but men who spoke for fundamental anil decisive principles When those ideas were in play those men were inevitabe If fifty Ahnutonists and as manv seoession sts hsd been hung mink many there would have been no trouble But do you th nk that if Luther had been hung there would have been no Keformaination In what conceivable wav was Luher strong or succetsiul but iu being the mouth o those who believedas he did Unless you could have hung the instinct of pop ular liberty in England in ll4it or the same instinct in America in 1770 yon would have struck but one soldier of an army in striking Hampden or Ot s Unless you could kill Protestantism you mglit as well spare Jjiither And un less you can hang abolitionism you will imng jiuuimuuisis in vain Corredly speaking the Abolitionists were in our history a body of persons who thought slavery wrong who held that the Constitution favored it and that as the system was sur to corrupt the whites as well as imbrtue the blacks there was no hope for either but in the change of the Constitution and thedissolution of the Union of w hich it was he bond But they proposed that the change should be effected peacefully and legally by common consent and to that end they endeavored to show what they considered the ulitnate danger and present wrong of the ConstiutionThiwas their agilaiiou They opposed violence of every kind They were many of tbem non resistants They did not vote lor to vote was toacknowledge what they thought a wickedConstitution They did not approvo the method but only ihe purpose of John Brown v d they said to ihe rest of us You who believe in force have no right to blame him for helping others to do what you praise our fathers fordoing in the Revolution Theybelieved that immediate emancipation was desirable but they aimed to achieve it solely by influencing public opinion through that perfect freedom of discus sion which the Uonsliiuiiou guaranteed Some among them but very lew were more vehement and sometimesattempted to resist the law as in Boston at the Hums capture But the PersonalLiberty bills although the Abolitionismapproved and advocated them werepassed by Legislatures in which noAbolition sat because no Abolitionist could swear to support the Constitutiou and laws of the United States Abolitionism justly understood was thus a purely moral powr It sought a moral end solely by moral mea s It was tierce vituperative and denmdative bul so has every party been lis leaders deliberately resigned all the pri zes of worldly ambition andaccepted the contumely heaped upn them by both the great parties in the country Republican and Democrat qually eschewed the name or suspicion of abolitionism And justly For the Democrats were ii political alliance with slavery ami tho Republicans differed lundanieuially Iroiu the Abolitionists iu their interpretation of the Constitution The latter held it to be a bond ofslavery the former of liberty TheAbolitionists thoi ght the only hope of the country was iu escaping Irom theConstitution The Republicans believed ihat the slavery question could be set tled peaceluliy lor liberty without change of the Constitution They were right For it was the clear perception of the slave interest that ii would be to settled a fac t of which Mr Lincolns election was the earnest that drove that iuterest to arms lo destroy the Constitution Philosophically the dilTereee between the Republicans and the Aboliliouists was one of political method not of moral conviction But iii humau affairs a difference of method isTalicaThe Republicans therefore Neitherdectied ho Ciuslitnhon nor the Un iwiBiib

riot threaten to rebel if thev were i cit sue cessltil at tho polls and they sevetely condemned all who assetited to such threats For they had faith in a popu lar government to right even the worst wrongs Aud their faith isjustified Therejs no more interesting chapter of our historv than that kuown as Abo litionism which is an episode in the great movement of liberty upon this continent To call it fanaticism and consider that a final and satisfactoryexplanation is as ludicrous as to define Washington simply as a rebel or Luther as a heretic Q W Curtis A Million oi Dollars People say the steamer took away a million dollars just as otnplacent as though a million dollars could be picked up like dirt An anonymous writerremarks ihat fev people have any more idea what millions billions and trillions are than they have of tho brogans worn bv the cobblers who hihabit the moon A million of silver dollars possesses a vastnesa that ia rather startling to a man who has never faced such a pile To count this sum at the rale of onethousand five hundred dollars an hour and eight hours a day would require a man nearly three months If the aiddollars were laid side by side they would reach one hundred avd thirtysix miles while their transportation would require fourteen wagons carrying two tons each If millions become thus overpowering in their magnitude what shall we do j with still larger sums The seconds in six thousand years seem almostincalc litble and yet they amount to less thai one fifth of a trillion Aquadrillion of leaves of paper each of the two hundredth part of an inch iu thickuess w uld form a pile the height of which wi uld be three hundred and thirty times me moons dstance from tho earth A cannon ball flies swiftly but were one fied at the moment that our National President takes his sent in the White Louse and were it to continue with an unabated velocity of twelve hundred teet per second during his whole term of ofnoo it would not travel three milions of miles We never hoar of theWandering Jew but we mentally iuquire what was the sentence of hispunishment Perhaps he was told to wak the earth until he counted a trillion But we hear somebody say ho would soon do that We fear not Suppose a man to count one in every second of time a day and a night wit toutstopping to rest to eat or to sleep it would take him thirtytwo years lo count a billion or thirty thousand years to counl a trillion even as the Freich understand that term As we said before whit a limited idea men have of theimmensity of numbers Hipe Fruit Ripe fruit does not die it is

trauquilized Dr Huntington Why Salt is Healthful From time immemorial it has been known that without Salt men would miserably perish and among the hoHblepunishmenls entailing ci rlain death that ol feeding culprits on saltless food is said to have prevailed in barbarous times Maggots and corruption are spoken ol by some writers as ihe distressingsymptoms which saltess food engenders but no ancient or unchemical modem could explain how such sufferings arose Now we know why the animal craves salt why it suffers discomfort and why it ultimately falls into disease if silt is for a time withheld Upward of hah the saline matter of the bloodfiftyseven percent consists of salt and as this is partly discharged every day through the skin and kidneys thenecessity of continued supplies of it to the healthy body becomes sufficiently obvious The bile also contains soda as aspeciil and indispensable constituent and so do all the cartilages of the body Stint ihe supply of salt therefore and neither will the bile be able properly to assist the digestion nor the cartilages to be built up again as fast as theynaturally waste Prof Johnson Commonplace Women Heaven knows how many

thought slavery wrong who held that the Constitution favored it and that as the system was sur to corrupt the whites as well as imbrtue the blacks there was no hope for either but in the change of the Constitution and thedissolution of the Union of w hich it was he bond But they proposed that the change should be effected peacefully and legally by common consent and to that end they endeavored to show what they considered the ulitnate danger and present wrong of the ConstiutionThiwas their agilaiiou They opposed violence of every kind They were many of tbem non resistants They did not vote lor to vote was toacknowledge what they thought a wickedConstitution They did not approvo the method but only ihe purpose of John Brown v d they said to ihe rest of us You who believe in force have no right to blame him for helping others to do what you praise our fathers fordoing in the Revolution Theybelieved that immediate emancipation was desirable but they aimed to achieve it solely by influencing public opinion through that perfect freedom of discus sion which the Uonsliiuiiou guaranteed Some among them but very lew were more vehement and sometimesattempted to resist the law as in Boston at the Hums capture But the PersonalLiberty bills although the Abolitionismapproved and advocated them werepassed by Legislatures in which noAbolition sat because no Abolitionist could swear to support the Constitutiou and laws of the United States Abolitionism justly understood was thus a purely moral powr It sought a moral end solely by moral mea s It was tierce vituperative and denmdative bul so has every party been lis leaders deliberately resigned all the pri zes of worldly ambition andaccepted the contumely heaped upn them by both the great parties in the country Republican and

The Republicans believed ihat the slavery question could be set tled peaceluliy lor liberty without change of the Constitution They were right For it was the clear perception of the slave interest that ii would be to settled a fac t of which Mr Lincolns election was the earnest that drove that iuterest to arms lo destroy the Constitution Philosophically the dilTereee between the Republicans and

feeding culprits on saltless food is said to have prevailed in barbarous times Maggots and corruption are spoken ol by some writers as ihe distressingsymptoms which saltess food engenders but no ancient or unchemical modem could explain how such sufferings arose Now we know why the animal craves salt why it suffers discomfort and why it ultimately falls into disease if silt is for a time withheld Upward of hah the saline matter of the bloodfiftyseven percent consists of salt and as this is partly discharged every day through the skin and kidneys thenecessity of continued supplies of it to the healthy body becomes sufficiently obvious The bile also contains soda as aspeciil and indispensable constituent and so do all the cartilages of the body Stint ihe supply of salt therefore and neither will the bile be able properly to assist the digestion nor the cartilages to be built up again as fast as theynaturally waste Prof Johnson Commonplace Women Heaven knows how many
